In a large skillet cook ground beef for about 5 minutes, until about half way cooked. Add in diced onions and garlic and continue cooking until meat is completely cooked through and onions are soft, about 8 more minutes. Since you are using lean meat you probably won't need to drain any excess fat, but if there is fat, drain that now.

When ready to assemble Put about 1½ cups of the meat mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 pan, just enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Layer that with 2 flour tortillas. I ripped up a tortilla and used that to help fill in the gaps. Top this with about 1½ to 2 cups of the meat mixture. Continue layering until you use all your tortillas and top with the remaining meat mixture and then sprinkle with grated cheese.

Bake uncovered for 25 minutes until cheese is melted.

Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.

We eat a lot of Tex-Mex in our home as well. Not only is it pretty frugal, but healthy and yummy, too. I make a version of this that I call Mexican Lasagna, but I like that yours is a little different. I’m pinning it now so that I can try it soon. Thanks for the recipe and the great pics!

This looks amazing! It’s similar to the Mexican lasagna I’ve made before. I love that you do turkey instead of regular old ground beef. I’m also glad I’m not alone in my obsession with corn in all my Tex-Mex food!! 🙂

I made this last week & it was a huge hit. Everyone, & I mean EVERYONE liked it. No one complained that it was too spicy, too bland, too salty like they often do. We especially liked whatever was going on with the texture of the middle tortillas. They soaked up the flavor & turned into moist yummy goodness.
I’ve even had requests to change taco Tuesday into Burrito Lasagna night. Thanks for the great recipe!
